And I had to sneak to watch American Band Stand

I know this is not YouTube.

Bear with me. I have many movies from this Dance Party. I sliced out just three little clips—just because—I am Grandma.

I chose this first little clip because I love watching Lilly. I also got tickled at J playing football while dancing. Brad, the DJ, was choosing the playlist. Ryan was using the whole dance floor and Jakie is hanging on to the guitar.

Jakie cracked me up. He is a contender, indeed.

Yes, those big boys are my sons teaching some twisting and shouting to the little boys—male bonding?

And here is Lilly and J showing a final move they learned on Dancing with the Stars.

I enjoyed this Brenda...I have videos of my 5 oldest dancing together, of course that was 12 years ago and they were dancing to my oldies but goodies...music has changed since then. Kids are fun to watch.

It must have been quite the scene (and SOUND) in your house those days!

I wish I'd tried to video the Christmas story the kids did for us! Our son had to fill in for Joseph when the original actor decided he wanted to be a shepherd. It IS fun to watch the dad's and kids together!

I am saddened that children in a Christian home dance or watch the immodest TV show, "Dancing with the Stars". I know of more than one Christian family who took their children out of Public school gym class dancing and at least one of the children is now a missionary. Let us not be worldly Christians. If we teach them that it is all right when they are young, will they go to the Prom when they are older?

About Me

I was an Ohio farm girl, then a teacher. Following my marriage, I moved with my husband to the Chicagoland area and became the mother of two sons. At age forty, when my sons were ten and twelve years old, my husband died suddenly. My life was turned upside down. Through those difficult years, God was faithful. I became very aware of His presence and watchcare over our lives. I loved being my sons’ mama. They became wonderful men of character. Eight years later, I remarried and our family of three immediately became a family of thirteen. My husband is a hobbyist beekeeper and is contemplating retirement but still works fulltime. Today, our family numbers 23.
